One of the great misconceptions of the fry-everything world is the chili cheeseburger. It’s not the burger topped with chili con carne presented at many restaurants. It’s a burger mixed with chili ingredients.

Saute onion and garlic lightly in olive oil. Add drained, chopped chilies, then tomatoes, chili sauce and cumin. Stir and cover to simmer 10 minutes. Mix all with meat. Divide into four balls and shape into round burgers. Heat corn oil and add burgers, grill 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Top each with a slice of cheese on a toasted Kaiser bun. Add lettuce. Serves 4.
